Cell fomatting

Is there a VBA method to clean a large amount of data, leaving e.g. #NA/NA cells empty and keeping proper numbers in a desired format?

RE: cell fomatting

Hi Steven

Thanks for your question

The following code uses the IsError property of the range object to determine whether the cell contains an error. If it does, it changes the value to and empty string ""

If IsError(Range("A1").Value) = True Then

        

            Range("a1").Value = ""

            

End If

This code checks cell "a1", but you could place this in a loop and have the range determined as a variable so that it would cycle through a range of cells

Regards

Stephen

Excel tip:

Use the SUBTOTAL function in Excel

You can create subtotals in your spreadsheet using the SUBTOTAL function, which looks like this:

=SUBTOTAL(9,cell:cell)

9 represents the function being used (SUM), followed by the range of cells the function is operating on.

The neat thing about using the Subtotal function is that if you have used it several times in the same column or row, clicking on the AutoSum button at the end of the column or row will make Excel add only the results of cells containing the Subtotal function in that column or row.
